It is highly unlikely that we'll recall him. That clause is probably more to recall the loanee in case he isn't playing, that isn't the case here. It sounds more like this is going to be a very successful loan for everyone concerned. We had the same clause for Miguel Azeez' loan to Portsmouth...

Arsenal DNA in that goal!

Watching the slow-motion, you're just relieved it wasn't worse. Apparantly, Charlie was down to see Arsenal U21 play Swansea U21, some gooners said he looked to be walking alright. I had my hopes it would have been better, but looking at that slow-motion, this could have gone really badly.

I don't think the club will hold that against you. The player wanted to try to run it off. He is young, and he hasn't been injured much, so hard for him to know when to stop really. Let's hope for a positive scan once the swelling has gone down. It sounds like he is off to a good start for you...

Got to separate the man and the music.

Seems you're not the only ones. Morecambe knocked out Stoke on penalties.

Might be worth to drop this video of Wenger talking about young players, but actually at the end, about young people in general. I hope you give Patino a chance, and I hope you will back him when things will be rough.

One thing that is probably a contributing factor to this loan is Appleton. He had Brooke Norton-Cuffy (name sounds like something out of PG Wodehouse) on loan at Lincoln last year. That was a very successful loan spell for a young player we have big hopes for.

Daniel Ballard did alright for you, didn't he?

That is very encouraging. I guess Arteta and Mertesacker would have done their homework on which club to send him to. I still remember us sending Gnabry to Pulis, and Pulis not playing him.

No, I maybe made it sound like that. Still, it will be a big step for him. If he gets to play his game, I think he'll do very well.

Gooner in peace here. I must admit this is a bit surprising and very interesting. It's the right decision to let Patino out on loan. He is too good for the U23s, and his options will be limited in the first team. That being said, I would have thought that he would have been loaned out to the...
